When Hart asked Gosselin if he had left his family "without the ability to pay for the roof over their head and or to put food on the table", a visibly agitated Jon shot back with a denial, claiming he pays $7,500 a month for "the kids, utilities, two mortgages and everything else that needs to be paid."

When asked if he was concerned at all that he was not going to be as sympathetic as Kate and that he's not going to win, an adamant Jon replied that "right now my kids are coming off the TV."

He went on to say, "I'm not the bad guy here - I'm the one trying to protect my children, that's called being a parent, protecting my children. I need to pull them off the television so we can work this out."

Going on to explain, "If you can fix the relationship everything else will come. You wont have to worry about anything else."

Jon, however, refused to admit to the gravity of his actions, claiming "it's just blown out of proportion."

Jon Gosselin needs to grow up!!! He is obviously very selfish and is "acting out" like a child. I don't think he is going to win this one!!!

Jon thinks by saying he's not the bad guy will make it so. Jon Gosselin, you are the bad guy!

What is blown out of proportion is these two adults who need to go on TV every other day to defend their actions. Go home, take care of your children, be civil with your wife/husband and move on with your lives.

Yes, please share with us how you would use $1000 to pay a $9000 mortgage, not to mention the one on the house they can't sell, utility bills and food for nine people. I'd love to have those skills.

Jean, why don't you go back to college and get an accounting degree? That way you could have more money in your account!
